Evolution CS Programmer Have any of you had experience with an engine programmer? We are looking at the one listed above.. made by Edge Products. The comments pro vs con are leaving us undecided. ...

It's been since the late 90s early 2000s models since I've spent $ on gasser programmers. I'm sure they give a slight bump in power, and I mean slight, like first day you go "wow, this thing is great" and after a week you don't notice it.
The 2 features I found value in were firming up shift points and removing the top speed limiter. (I used to "commute" about 40kmi a year, a lot in the middle of nowhere desert, so 100mph + was the norm.)
IMO it won't hurt anything, but not much bang for your buck with a naturally aspirated engine. You can only suck so much air with factory intake, cam, pistons, comp ratio etc. whereas with forced induction, you have a much broader spectrum of parameters when you have a compressor force feeding air. That's why tunes work 10x better on turbo diesels and Eco boosts.
As a kid I thought it was cool, now I'd take that $500 and buy a gun or something if I was intent on spending it.
